I found a true love, and it's beautiful ^__^ (pt.1)
2008-07-20 07:54:27
I've been knowing this girl since two years. She's my officemate, but we were never close since we were working on separate projects and I heard she already had someone though I wasn't care about it then.
And then two months ago I had to go outstation quite far and she happened to follow. So along the way I chatted with her a little bit and learnt that she's quite nice and talkative. But it wasn't until we went to see Kung Fu Panda that my feeling started to bloom. I wasn't sure but I was happy and shy being with her. From there we started seeing and calling each other often even though we were always busy.
After a while I began to dream more about this girl, but I was also concern of whether or noe she felt the same way for me, because everytime we were together she was always indifferent while I sometimes kind of overreacted.
Later on, two weeks ago I returned to my parents and met a few girls who are acquainted to my relatives and they became my new friends. So when I returned to the office I didn't spend much time with her as I used to as she was always busy while I began to often spending my times at home to offload work and chat with my new friends.

Boycott Dutch products
2008-04-03 14:45:21
Since the release of Geert Wilder's Fitna film, general public, particularly muslims have started to boycott anything from the Dutch.
Anyway, the reason to disapprove the film is simple: it's a misconception brought by manipulation. Verses, most particularly war verses from a holy book were taken out of contexts and then combined with real footage to interpret a different meaning and thus giving Islam a bad rep. (Shame on you GW)
Personally I have no problem with boycotting when there are valid reasons to do so, and in this case I support the action to express my disapproval of the video message. But more importantly is that we should be supporting quality local products rather than imports.

I hate cheap, "chicken-brand" electronics
2008-02-11 13:30:03
2 weeks ago my computer was broken. At first I thought the PSU failed so I bought a new one but then it didn't rectify the problem. So I asked around in Abit forums and someone suggested that I changed the graphics card. After I tried my comp was able to boot and I realized my eGate gc short-circuited somewhere near its additional power source. So then I had to buy another gc since the old one expired its warranty last month. I got a HIS HD2600pro for half the price of the last one. Lesson learnt: Don't buy an eGate

Sennheiser PX-100
2008-02-11 13:06:15
The first thing I realized is that its sound signature is overall quite laid-back and more neutral compared to the iGrado. PX-100 bass and mids are slightly less punchy and detailed, but the trebles have more depth. Moreover it feels comfortable to wear. But for now I decided to keep both since I got used to wearing iGrado while riding on motorcycle. Plus, the iGrado is a lot more fun to listen to R&B and Metal tracks like Timbaland and WT. I just use the Senn during work at the office. Meanwhile my A700 have been put to good use at home, feeding me MODs, piano and electronica.

Between iGrado and PX-100, which is the best portaphone?
2008-01-31 12:20:37
I just got a set of iGrado today, and am quite impressed with the sound.. It has that "in your face" kind of sound where every range from bass towards treble are clear and pretty detailed. The soundstage is also quite wide since it's an open-type. It definitely beats any Philips and Sonys' and Mylars I had. But I still prefer Audiotechnica A700 audio signature because I don't like iGrado's midrange that is too forward and tiring. Moreover the build quality looks and feels cheap. It irritate my ears when wearing it. All in all, I say iGrado has great sound but I prefer ATH, and its streetstyle design doesn't suit me.
Next week I'll be getting a Sennheiser PX100. And the I will decide which one I should keep.
